It's not as much "fun" as my horsey quilt, but it's a great back-up quilt.  So, yes, I'll take it and help you pay for that pretty mare!!
You are awesome.   I'll send you a PM.

Spent much of the day sewing, got the center of the blue and yellow quilt sewn together, need to press it, measure it so I can determine how wide of borders I want to add, then add the borders.

Trying out my border, looking at making the side borders slightly wider than the top and bottom borders to adjust the size of the quilt a bit.

Is there anything small you'd like to see and would be interested in buying for Christmas gifts or something?   What I'm willing to make is somewhat limited, but I was thinking potholders, hotpads (slightly bigger than potholders), tablerunners, placemats, etc.

I would love 4 Christmas Table Runners for all my daughters & daughters-in-law for Christmas, if you have time to do 4?

My mom still loves hers, and it was so pretty!!

The new quilt arrived and it's fabulous, of course!

Oh, I forgot to add above, that Katy is being deployed again to the war zone, on December 8 -- the day before her anniversary, and on my twins 37th birthday.

If you can make the table runners, I would love to have hers sent before she leaves, as she will not be here for Christmas.  I'm going to go "lay my hands on her" before she leave, from November 25 to December 1st, and I can give you her address to mail it to -- maybr getting there during the time I'm there.

You know I have to just "touch" her before she leaves for her deployment.  Mom's just have to do that, I believe.  Just have to hug and kiss her and spend some quality time with her before she goes back to war.

Let me know if you think that's possible.  If hers is the only one you have time to make, that's fine, but I know she will appreciate it, and I'd love for her to see it before she goes.

So 4 Christmas print table runners?   I can do that by Christmas, and I get one done before December, possibly even all of them, but one for certain.   Just need to get into "Christmas print" mode.   ;)   I have a stack of Christmas prints in my fabric room, and a new pattern book that I just might have to try out.

I'm trying a new pattern, not sure if I'm going to like the process, so perhaps only one in this pattern, and the others in different patterns, time to get looking through the books for something interesting and different, but doable in a month  to 6 weeks.

Just looked in a book on my desk, and found a pattern that will look lovely, but be simple enough in construction to be quick, so I can easily get 3 done in this pattern.  I already cut fabric, so one will be the other pattern.   [Might make all 4 the same or two and two, we'll see when I'm done testing out the first pattern.]

Sounds exciting for sure.  Katy is the only one far away, so even 3 the same is fine, as the other ladies all live within a hour of here, but 2/2 will also be fine.

Can't wait!
